Decameron by Boccaccio

-Please read Decameron by Boccaccio
Prompt:

  • Assess if Boccaccio’s text Decameron shows progress or lack of progress for women during the Renaissance. Some scholars say women were excluded from the Renaissance (the emphasis on individualism, virtu, genius, etc.). Others say that Boccaccio’s female characters were impressive Renaissance individuals. So I’d like your opinion with explanation and supporting evidence from the text.

In a brief paper, you must focus on a very specific argument. Your paper should be well-organized, contain a thesis, and include direct quotations for evidence.No sources outside the assigned reading should be included in your writing. Doing so will earn an automatic zero.***

Instructions:

  • One-page analysis of the readings should be narrowly focused on an insight that the student is able to explore in detail. In a very short paper, the topic must be very specific in order to allow room for a detailed exploration.
  • The purpose of this assignments is to take the place of a classroom conversation. Students are therefore encouraged to contribute a meaningful insight that is unique to them (one voice in a conversation) and not a generic review of the reading.
  • Exceptional work (A quality) critically, substantively, and directly engages the assigned reading. It contains no grammar or punctuation mistakes and is clearly written.
  • All reasonable, evidence-driven analyses are welcome. Interpretations can be diverse. As in the essays, credit is given to well-reasoned argument that accurately engages the historical material under discussion.
    Please note that the goal in this analysis is for you to pursue a very specific claim (thesis). The goal is not to provide a generic summary. Consider your short essay to be one small piece of a longer essay, or one contribution in a group discussion. You will have room for only about two body paragraphs, so the scope should be small. A smaller scope gives you the opportunity to dig into it with depth, a very good intellectual exercise.
  • Use direct quotes from the reading ONLY.
